Online Content for Basic Education Students
If the suspension of in-person classes in the State continues due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the foundations will also make Basic Education subject content available on digital platforms for Faetec’s elementary and high school students.
Initially, Faetec units that will have access to the Cecierj system will be registered, as well as teachers in the respective subject areas. Subsequently, students already enrolled in the network will be included, who will have access to pedagogical content dedicated to their corresponding school stage at the institution.
No student from the 130 units will be left without the possibility of continuing their studies during this social isolation period. Priority will be given to theoretical content. However, if necessary, laboratory content will be adapted to the platform.
